I can only imagine what the introduction of strange blood does to the immune system.
Quite!
This is profoundly disturbing. The sale of preborn body parts is a similar obscenity.
WHAT is in the water out there!??
Thanks so much for the questions. I can help on some of them. It is the holy grail to find alternative delivery of oxygen. Lots of attempts and studies. Nothing yet even looks promising. As for autologous blood. Probably safer however banking blood causes loss of 2,3 DPG which is the crucial enzyme for oxygen delivery. Even autologous blood is not as efficient as delivering oxygen although with autologous you don’t see the inflammatory response that causes the degradation of the KAPLAN -MYERS curve. So safer yes, ideal no.

A number of laboratory tests must be completed before blood or blood products can be transfused:
Determination of the blood type with a crossmatch.
Screening for antibodies that may produce adverse effects if transfused.
Screening for possible infectious agents that could be transmitted with transfusion.
The following tests are manadatory on all units of blood collected for transfusion:
ABO group and Rh type
Screening for blood-group antibodies
Serologic tests for human retroviruses including:
HIV-1
HIV-2
HTLV I
HTLV II
Serologic tests for viral hepatitis including:
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Serologic tests for additional infectious agents including:
Syphilis (Treponema pallidum
West Nile virus
Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi)
If, and only if, all of these markers are negative can blood be conveyed to the Blood Bank for storage until usage. A postive results for some of these tests may prevent further donation by that person. A person with such a test result will be notified by the donor center.
Persons with a potential medical condition should see a physician and should not, under any circumstance, donate only to have blood tested. These measures are done to make the blood supply as safe as possible.
The significant infectious diseases transmitted by transfusion and the risk of transmission (RT) in the U.S. are given below.
Transfusion Transmitted Diseases
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted through parenteral and sexual exposure. The incubation time is a mean of 90 days with a range of 30 to 180 days.
Donor blood is routinely tested for HBsAg and HBcAb. There is no routine testing for hepatitis A, because it is rarely transmitted by blood products.
Recipients of blood products can also be infected with hepatitis delta, which is a defective RNA virus that needs a HBV superinfection to replicate.
Persons who have received a hepatitis B vaccination (recommended for all health care workers with patient contact) will have hepatitis B surface antibody present, but not HBsAg or HBcAb
Risk of transmission (RT) = 1 in 200,000 to 500,000
Hepatitis C
The route of transmission is parenteral, with sexual transmission lower than previously throught. The mean incubation time is 6 to 8 weeks.
Blood Bank testing for HCV started in 1990. At present, only testing for hepatitis C antibody is available.
Risk of transmission (RT) = 1 in 1,000,000 to 2,000,000
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
In 1982 the first cases of AIDS obtained from blood or blood components were reported, but the etiology of the infections was not known at that time.
By 1983 changes occurred in the donor cirteria to exclude those at high risk for transmission of HIV.
The first testing of blood products for HIV started in 1985 and is a test to detect the presence of antibody directed against HIV. Testing for HIV p24 antigen was mandated in 1996.
Risk of transmission = 1 in 1,000,000 to to 2,000,000
Human T-lymphocytotrophic Virus (HTLV-I/II).
HTLV-1 is a retrovirus that is endemic in Japan and the Caribbean. Implicated as causing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and a neurological disorder similar to multiple sclerosis.
Blood is routinely screened for antibodies to HTLV-I.
Risk of transmission = 1 in 2,000,000 t0 3,000,000 (but only 1-3% of seropositive individuals will develop disease).
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
The prevalence of CMV antibody ranges from 50 to 80% of the population. Blood contaminated with CMV can cause problems in neonates or immunocompromised patients.
Potential problems in selected patient populations can be prevented by transfusing CMV negative blood or frozen, deglycerolized RBC’s.
Donor blood is not routinely tested for CMV.
Malaria
Malaria is rarely transmitted by RBC products, although the number of transfusion associated cases of malaria is at an all-time high.
Donors traveling to high risk malaria areas are excluded from donating blood for six months. In areas of high prevalence, an antibody test to detect Plasmodium falciparium and Plasmodium vivax can be employed.
Bacterial Contamination
Bacterial contamination of blood can occur during collection. Bacteria can grow during storage at room temperature and during refrigeration (psychrophilic organisms). Platelet products carry the greatest risk (1 in 3000 units may have bacteria), because they are stored at room temperature.
Transfusing a contaminated unit may uncommonly result in severe sepsis (1 in 100,000), septic shock and death.
Others
Additional diseases which are rarely transmitted by blood products include:
Lyme disease
Dengue fever
Babesiosis
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Potential donors may be screened by questionnaire regarding travel to endemic areas or contact with persons at risk. Antibody tests available for all but babesiosis and CJD are available, preferentially applied in regions of high prevalence.

Thank you for posting this information. Quite helpful.

The above statement appears to require expansion and clarification.
While I do not recall the series, the premise does not surprise me.
Nor you, I imagine.
Thank you for your kind response. I see that it is time for me to begin reading upon medical subjects again.
Birth control hormones and antidepression medication byproducts are endemic in our water supplies.
You’re welcome, Norski.
I’m unable to help with Malaria information, although I’ve taken anti-Malaria tablets when traveling in various foreign countries.
Human traffickers taking blood from their young slaves and selling it?
Are you asking my thoughts on the matter?
What you are suggesting here is most likely only a small part of the suffering, torture, rape, and murder of captive humans, both adult and children.
Pondering out loud.
Hm. An excerpt, dated 1971, long before the internet:
” . . . For several months, we have taken three and four carloads of young people from the Bible class to particpate in the Saturday night servieces at Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. One Saturday night I was left at the mission awaiting my song leader, who had driven someone home. I was witnessing to some servicemen in the Servicemen’s Center and about 1:30a.m. a young witch walked in. The Holy Spirit worked with me in a strange way, revealing to me details of her life and witchcrafrt. She was involved in some of the most depraved aspects of Satan worship, including the sacrifice of living infants at black masses. She wore a werewolf-head ring invested with strange occult powers. As I witnessed to her about the Lord Jesus, I was able to tell her that I thoroughly understood the darkness in which she was involved.
She tried to look at me, but kept dropping her eyes. Finally she gasped, “You really do know, don’t you? But you couldn’t know, only a select few know. But you do; you really do know!” She grew nervous and agitated at the knowledge God had given me and was thoroughly upset as she left. . . .”

Ah. I just noticed your tag. Yes. Indeed.
2 Chron 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
There is much Christians can do, and incredible weapons the Lord Jesus left us that we can wield, but the adversary does all he can to keep us ignorant of them.
Luke 10:19
Matthew 18:18
Mark 16: 17,18
Out there, there must be a little LSD too
I do not know. Here is an article excerpt:
“Ever since the late 1990s, the science community has recognized that pharmaceuticals, especially oral contraceptives, are found in sewage water and are potentially contaminating drinking water,” Janssen tells WebMD.
Concern among scientists increased when fish in the Potomac River and elsewhere were found to have both male and female characteristics when exposed to estrogen-like substances, she says. For instance, some fish had both testes and an ovary, she says.
From: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/features/drugs-in-our-drinking-water#1
Scientists starting looking at the effects of oral contraceptives first, she says. “Now analyses have expanded to look at other drugs,” Janssen says.
Technology has made this research easier, says Suzanne Rudzinski, deputy director for science and technology in the Office of Water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “Analytical methods have gotten better and we are able to detect lower levels than ever before.”
